The California Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Act makes it unlawful for cosmetic manufacturers to sell any cosmetic in California if the final product or any component of the product was tested on animals and goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

Products that have undergone testing on animals before that date can still be sold in California. Earlier in the month, the bill passed the state legislature after it was narrowed in scope.
